BeepFX 1.11 Released
Shiru has released new version of beeper sound effects cross editor for ZX Spectrum 48K.
What's new:
Assembly output is more compatible with assemblers other than SjAsmPlus.
Autosiril V1 Released
After many years of its' development, Siril has finally uncovered one of his top secret projects, Autosiril. With its' help, it's possible to convert songs from MIDI to a Vortex Tracker Improved text file and then to a ProTracker 3 module (pt3), for the use on the real hardware. For now, Autosiril relies on the command-line interface, which means it may take a while to learn its' features.
It's also highly recommended to edit the module after it's converted because the results may not sound perfect at all. :)
Download it here. See the full article for the instruction manual in English.

New MP3 Album of Micromusic/Chiptunes: ZX81 and Two YM2149 Chips
Some info about the album from Yerzmyey below:
OK dudez, I don't release new stuff often. But after 2 years of silence I decided to make something new - and something a little bit different. ;)
This is a collection of songs made on ZX81 with TurboSound for ZX81 (two ZonX interfaces - on different ports - to play simultaneously 6 channels).
All has been written on real ZX81 machine - NO EMULATORS have been USED.
All titles are somehow related with ZX81 machine. ;)
The album is for fans of YM2149 and for AY fans.
Tracklist:
01. Yerzmyey - ZX81
02. Yerzmyey - New Line
03. Yerzmyey - UrsULA
04. Yerzmyey - Motherboard Circuit ISSUE ONE
05. Yerzmyey - Break Space
06. Yerzmyey - Earport
07. Yerzmyey - Touch sense
TOTAL TIME: 29:39 min.

ZX81 Turbosound Song Released
With a huge delay (sorry!) i post really interesting music news from Yerzmyey:
And yessss - I finished it today.
So, this is another song entirely made on ZX81 and ZX81 only - a UK monochrome computer from 1981.
MP3 recorded from real hardware.
This is a song for TurboSound (2 x AY).
As I was making it entirely on ZX81, I wasn't able to constantly check out how both halfs of the song work together, so actually the second AY gives only some "deeper" sound this time, nothing more.
After all, I think it's a really decent sound, pretty powerful with 2 YMs/AYs.
PS: Thx a lot for all the soft/hardware to: Sasha2000, SirMorris, Andy Rea and Moggy (for software-ports for more stupid users like me).
Greetzzz, Yerzmyey/AY-RIDERS.
ZXTune rev.1802
Vitamin^CAIG выложил новую сборку кроссплатформенного музыкального плеера ZXTune. Динамично развивающийся проект уже поддерживает несколько десятков музыкальных форматов, образов, архивов и упаковщиков с возможностью поиска музыки внутри файлов.
1tracker v0.11
Shiru выпустил новый трекерный редактор 1tracker под Windows. Как можно понять из названия - он сделан для 1-битной музыки Спектрума. Однако уникальность проекта в другом. По сути это попытка сделать графический интерфейс для всех 1-битных движков, которых расплодилось уже достаточное количество. Кстати, возможности редактора не ограничиваются только 1-битной музыкой, можно через соответствующие модули добавить поддержку практически любого формата музыки.
